Let''s have a look at our latest newsletter!

This month’s topics summarised: - The separation of Nickel Based Alloy for additive manufacturing at 20 μm and 48 μm; - Dedusting of Zinc Stearate at 80 μm to create a new release agent; - Screening of Dry Chalk at 1.6 mm; -Separation of Milk Whey Powder at 150 μm, and - Dedusting of Polyethylene Granules at 2 mm cut point.

The screening of metal powders with a particle size under 50 µm has always been a major challenge in the creation of new alloys. When undertaking product development metal powder producers have had to constantly make a sacrifice in throughput or separation efficiency. Ultrasonic technology has provided a little relief in the zone of 50 – 30 µm, but for ultra-fine metal p...

However, with Virto''s ScreenX vibrating sieves this is not the case. ScreenX achieves far greater capacities for fine and difficult materials in comparison to traditional sieving methods due to its multi-frequency technology that accelerates the mesh by up to 500G - which is a c. 10,000% increase in mesh acceleration compared to standard sieves. In fact, the finer the m...
